nice pics "gringo del norte"
is "moño rojo"?

Hola MN, Here in Bogota this is "Punto Rojo" per the Colombians. I've never seen or heard of "moño rojo" but of course I'm a gringo.

Punto Rojo 05

If you keep putting pictures up like that I'm gonna start begging you, LOL!!! Those are some really beautiful nug shots!

Peace from the great gringo north

4 Dargons hola ! Thanks but the best stuff is yet to come as I plan to "unleash"some very rare high altitude Colombian (photos). Also I have a huge "Johnny Blaze" harvest coming in a few weeks.

Peace from Colombia

Ahhhhh, look at at that Punto Roja! I told you what would happen if you keep posting pictures like that. Get ready for some please, please, please happening, LOL! I don't know much about Johnny Blaze but I am for sure looking forward to your rare high altitude Colombian pictures!!
Happy growing, 4D

Hola!!!

Damn those landscapes... I think that it would be an good idea to establish an hostel type resort for foreigners. You could name it "Red´s tropical treat", I know I would become an lojal customer every year

I think that the LaMano addressed the Mono rojo for me. Like I have said before I just know that the Peruvians called the strain simply Rojo. Anyways, thank you for the clearance.

Dont worry about your current growing situation Red, I am going to start an break in about one month and gonna keep it whole summer (at least indoor break :wink: ). After summer im gonna pop whole lot of sativas and make some special crosses + some preservation. So, we gonna get back to the subject after summer, I can assure you that you can try Rojo or Mono rojo, I just keep the break first.

Thank you for the laughs Highlighter, I know how hard it can be to assure things to your women! Anyway, let´s hope she recognize the best deal, ha?

High Culture:
Marijuana in the Lives of Americans
by William Novak
11. Varieties of Marijuana

Colombian
Mexican was all right for hippies who wanted to see God. There's nothing wrong with saying hello to God once in a while, and I think Mexican still has that and so do a few other good dopes at good moments. But more important is day-to-day survival. And Colombian offers that potential.
— "The Dope Taster" in High Times

Colombia is currently the largest supplier of marijuana in the world. The climate and soil conditions in the Andes and on the lowland plains are well suited to growing potent cannabis; the long season and humid air are perfect for the plants, while the country's extended and irregular coastline makes life less anxious for smugglers. It is estimated that ten thousand farmers in Colombia grow marijuana and that the marketing provides a livelihood for five times that many, with people needed as packers, truckers, and even armed guards to protect the shipments. Marijuana is now the largest industry in Colombia, larger even than coffee. Although the Colombian farmer may receive only 1 percent of the final price of his crop, marijuana is still several times more lucrative for him to plant than coffee, cotton, or corn.
Most Colombian marijuana that reaches America is known as "regular" or "commercial." It is usually dark brown, tends to be strong and heavy, and generally has a pungent, earthy flavor when relatively fresh. It may be as much as 60 percent seeds by weight. Consumers find it a reliable way of getting high, although some complain that it is harsh on the throat and makes them tired.
The finer varieties of Colombian can be divided into lights, darks, and reds. The lights include the highly respected Colombian golds, but not all grass that glitters is what it appears. Often, the color is produced by bleaching the marijuana in the sun, or even by an artificial agent. Connoisseurs say that the real test for gold is in the buds or clumps, which should reveal a "furriness"—that is, pollen clinging to the flowers and seed bracts. The golds tend to be stronger, sweeter, and less sleep-inducing than the browns.
The darks, or browns, are grown in the lowland plains, and their freshness can make the difference between commercial and connoisseur smoke. The most famous of the dark Colombians is Wacky Weed, a legendary variety said to make everything seem absurd. According to those who have smoked it, Wacky Weed is marijuana that has produced so much resin that it has stifled itself and died, which accounts for its occasional black color. Wacky Weed is no longer seen in the United States, but sophisticated smokers see a replacement in a similar if less potent variety known as Manizales Black.
Finally, there are the reds, the best known of which is Punto Rojo ("red tip"). Almost tasteless but very high in THC, Punto Rojo has a brownish-red flare on the tops of the leaves and red highlights on the buds. The reds have a reputation for being more spiritual or religious in their effect.

Hi redrider,
Nice article and pictures! How long does it take for your Colombians to flower?
Have you run into the Manizales Black that is mentioned in the article?
Take care, 4D

[redrider]

Thanks

Thanks

I would like to say thanks to everyone, but I must confess I haven't been able to give as much as I could. My current situation here in Colombia is deteriorating and my stay here might end at any time. The situation has become hostile to a certain degree and I have limited internet access so I can't spend a lot of time with long posts. I hope that you all can bear with me.




Peace and respect from Colombia

Dude, are you safe?

 

[sackoweed]

[HarryNugz]

As much as I love your pics and updates, your safety is much more important. Please don't take any unnecessary risks to yourself and family! If need be, just take a leave of absence until things improve.

 

[Herbalistic]

^^^ I agree 100 %, there aint nothing more important than the fact, that you & family are safe. The word hostile, got whole different meaning in the country like Colombia, especially for gringos, so take care & do it safe Red!!!

 

[redrider]

Hey thanks guys, redrider is cool right now but I will stop growing for awhile till I find the right place. Down here you really don't need to grow because there's great stuff to be bought cheap and I think I'm going to go that route for awhile so I will still have some great pics and stories.

Peace from Colombia
